Like millions of other Americans, I'm still smarting over what happened three Tuesdays ago.
That's right...unless at least 41 electors get some spine and decide to vote their conscience when they and the remaining 497 electors meet on 12-19-2016 (or unless the current recount effort in four states bears real fruit), the United States will official go under a fascist government as early as 1-20-2017.
Inauguration Day.
Think about it...if you haven't been doing so already.
Then think back to 12-26-1991 (if you were around back then).
That day happened to be the one in which the Soviet Union officially broke up (after all fifteen of its old socialist republics, one by one, declared their independence).
What if some regions of the United States declared their own independence?
After all, it's now estimated that on 11-8-2016, 62 million US voters- whether they thought so or not, knew it or not, liked it or not- decided they'd rather live under fascist rule.
What if they had their own country...the old Confederacy plus some states in the Northwest and Midwest?
Due to the geographical implications, the states to the west of this new Confederacy would be an entirely different nation...hopefully, one run as the republic America was supposedly set up to be.
And the same thing would go for the new country north of this revived CSA.
Oh, well...it's just a thought.
What do YOU think?
Is splitting these fifty states three ways the only answer to satisfy Trump supporters, Clinton fans, and everybody else?
This date, too, will live in infamy.
That's because yesterday, hatred and bigotry won out.
That's all there is to it.
Yesterday, American voters- as a whole- chose to replace Barack Obama with a PROVEN racist/sexist/misogynist/homophobe/Islamophobe who's studied Adolf Hitler's speeches.
And they were aided and abetted by the reporters, producers, and executives from the nation's biggest media companies...as well as by FBI director James Comey.
Many claim they never saw this coming. But they might have forgotten about how, in 2010, voters joined with those Democrats who chose to stay home in giving the US House of Representatives back to the Republicans...and, four years later, repeated the process with this country's Senate.
Handing 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue back to the Elephants was the next step.
Those who decided to go with Donald Trump just spat on the graves of all those American veterans who died during World War 2- people who gave up their lives in an effort to keep German/Italian/Japanese totalitarian rule from reaching America's shores.
So now, as early as 1-20-2017, Trump could call a fascist government.
I wouldn't put it past him, knowing his supersized ego.
It isn't as if we weren't warned, what with years of evidence that DJT doesn't give a hoot about rank-and-file citizens.
And when many of this country's Trump supporters find out he really doesn't give a crap about them, they'll express remorse over giving control of the US government to the one-time host of TV's The Apprentice...instead of letting one of the most qualified presidential nominees in history take the reins.
Those Trump supporters' eventual tears and sadness will prove useless and meaningless.
What's more, media personalities such as CNN's Dana Bash and NBC's Matt Lauer might privately express grief over allowing this con artist to become this year's Republican nominee, let alone the leader of the American people. And Bash's boss, Jeff Zucker (the same man who, when he was president of NBC Entertainment, got The Apprentice on the air), might eventually start expressing sadness...if only in private.
Me, I stopped watching corporate news programs the night of 11-4-2014. After all, news is news, not entertainment...contrary to what Zucker and CBS CEO Les Moonves teach.
But now, I'm going to stop watching ANYTHING the Big Media companies have to offer, now that this has happened.
They have to pay for their part in bringing eventual (if not immediate) full-fledged fascist rule to the United States...just as those voters who thought Trump would be better than Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton must pay for their decision.
If you're just as worked up about what just took place at the polls as I am (and yes, I voted yesterday), then you're welcome to join me in this boycott of CBS', Comcast's, Disney's, News Corporation's, and Time Warner's shows.
Yesterday, America threw it all away.
With the whole world watching.
